Welcome
I'm Carl Kogstrom, a software developer.
Officially that means I use software development languages and tools to write, maintain, edit, and test computer software.
But what that means to me is, when someone has an idea “wouldn’t it be cool if …”, I can design, implement and bring that idea into the real world.
What would you like to know?
My Story
I began college with the goal of going to medical school, but I needed to major in something. At the time,
I had just taken a computer cience course in high school and thought software development could be something I utilize in my pursuit of medicine.
Even though software development started as my backup plan, I was enjoying the thought process of logical problem solving in those classes more than the
memorization that I was doing in organic and biochemistry. So, after three years of coursework and beginning to prepare for the MCAT, I decided that
the medical path was not for me.
Now, I am building my knowledge and skill in my programming interests. Right now, I'm learning Python and SQL to build
my base and in the summer of 2020 I will learn to apply these skills through projects. What I love about data is the fact that it is applicable to a limitless
number of industries and it is up to the data scientist to pursue a field that piques their intrest.
